“If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your dogs like they’re his own, James is absolutely the one. From the moment we connected, he was kind, patient, and incredibly attentive—not just to me, but to my dogs as well. He kept in touch the entire time, sending updates that gave me so much peace of mind. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does because my dogs came back happy, relaxed, and clearly very attached to him. His setup is beautiful—plenty of safe, comfortable space indoors and outdoors for the dogs to enjoy. It honestly felt more like a little vacation for them than just boarding. I will be booking with James again and again—honestly, even when I don’t need boarding, just so my dogs can have a fun getaway with someone they love and trust. Highly, highly recommend!”
“She was amazing with my dog Sunny! She sent me pictures and videos throughout her stay so I wouldn’t be worried. I will definitely consider her in the future and refer her to everyone.”
“This was my very first time using Rover. Upon meeting Melissa she was very kind. I explained to her about the needs of my Colby. She was very attentive and a great listener. She assured me that he would be fine in her care. During my 4 days away she sent photos which warmed my heart. Melissa followed instructions to perfection and when he returned to me it was as if I never left. He had no issues, exactly what I needed as a pickie dog owner. Melissa is very accommodating. I look forward to working with her again real soon and I believe Colby does too. Thanks Melissa for your professionalism and care for my Colby.”
“I am really pleased with Tanisha’s services. I think Lola enjoyed herself a lot. I would definitely recommend for anyone especially new dog parents such as myself. I was nervous as Lola is a puppy but Tanisha helped eased that with videos, photos and updates. We will be back soon.”
“My dog Paris seemed very happy in Ms Lori P.’s care. She shared a picture and gave me updates. She also was quick to ask me questions about Paris’ behaviors. I really appreciate her doing that.”
“Dianne was very responsive, communicative, and kind. Our dog Lady was clearly well taken care of, and we were updated on her multiple times while we were gone. Thank you!”
“This was my first time leaving my pup with a sitter & I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Candace again. She answered all questions I had and seems to really care about the pets in her care. She did an awesome job with providing updates and photos throughout his stay. Thanks again!”
“Here's a review you can use: Lizdalia was amazing with my doggies! She provided daily updates and pictures, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cared for them, and they were so happy and well-cared for when I returned. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Absolutely stellar experience with Rebekah and with Rover because of her. I definitely felt like i was leaving my boy with family and i didn't worry one bit about him being cared for on our family vacation. Rebekah and her family took great care of my Great Pyrenees and the updates i received while out of town helped me feel even better about leaving him behind. Rebekah was responsive, helpful and extremely accommodating especially considering our reservation was made 2 days before we left. She was awesome and understanding enough to let us get a meet and greet in before the final decision was made for her to keep him. I'd utilize Rebekah's services again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter that will pay attention to and take care of their four legged loved one. The peace of mind gained from this experience is far greater than the money it cost us and I can't be more satisfied.”
“I had booked a boarding recently I believe it was feb 10-14 and was nervous about doing so because this is the first time I left my baby alone and let alone with a stranger. When I say Langston went above and beyond from the initial meet up, to keeping in contact with me , updating with pictures and videos to even bringing back his food bowls clean (I noticed lol) ..but yeah if you reading this BOOK your fur babies with this man and I promise you won’t regret it .. thanks again Langston and tell Moscoe HEYYYYYY !! Nu’ggett will be back soon for another play date …thanks again”
“Crissy was so amazing with Reese! This was our first time leaving our puppy with anyone and she felt right at home with Crissy. She sent me pics and updates each day, we are Crissy’s biggest fans and Reese’s new bff. ☺️ Thanks again!! We will call her again in the future.”
“Jennifer was great!! She sent many pictures and videos during our dog Oliver’s stay with her. Oliver was happy when he got there and pretty sure he was sad to leave. Thanks for doing such a great job for taking care of our big puppy!!”
“Our dog has a great time at Jennifer’s and she takes great care of him. He’s not a dog we can leave with just anyone, but Jennifer understands dogs and has experience with ones that can be challenging. We highly recommend her! She sends great updates throughout the stay and is very kind and professional. Highly recommended!”
“Maceo is fabulous! He sent lots of photos of my pups having a BLAST! Maceo is knowledgeable about dogs so I felt very comfortable with him and that he could manage my energetic pup! Will definitely book again!”
“I left my dog bowls at home and she had some which was a life saver. She listened to all of my instructions and she responded very fast and sent pictures of Marley to me. I think I was more nervous than my Marley. Highly recommend and will use her in the future ?”
“I highly recommend Stephanie! I was super nervous about leaving Glacier since he was so anxious with the last sitter he had but she took such amazing care of him and sent so many updates and pictures throughout the day without me even having to ask which I loved. You could tell Glacier was having the best time with her!”
“Jeronay, was great with Bruno. Communication was excellent, from the meet and greet I knew she would be amazing with Bruno. I received pictures and updates daily. I had a worry free vacation. Thank you.”
“Tammy and her family were super welcoming and warm with Penny. She was very communicative and kept me up-to-date with everything happening with her and we look forward to booking with her again!”

“Corin was great to work with and I really enjoyed the peace of mind she provided with pictures and updates after every drop in. We will definitely book Corin again!”
“Aimee took excellent care of our cat Sunny again, and we couldn’t be happier! It’s such a relief knowing our fur baby is in such loving and capable hands. We absolutely love her and feel so lucky to have found someone we trust completely.”
“Katherine did an amazing job caring for my cats while I was on vacation! She arrived on time, cleaned their litter box, and fed them while I was away. I was especially impressed when she entered my house and took her shoes off without me asking her to! We are a family who leaves our outside shoes at the door! I will they’re definitely use her again in the future.”
“For me using Rover for the first time, I was pretty nervous about having someone else watch my dog. However, Colleen made it very easy to communicate and setup a good system for my dog. With her having a half hour per visit, I can tell she filled that time productively, and gave Maggie the positive energy she needed while I was gone. Colleen also sends photos confirming that Maggie ate or walked, and that allowed me to still see Maggie in action. I’m very happy with her service and how easy she was able to pull it off for Maggie.”

“Charity is highly responsible. She ensured my cat was visited and fed every day within the timeline I preferred. It is a great relief to not have to worry about anything while away. She ensured my cat was well taken care of. Thank you Charity!”
About: I understand that cats have unique personalities and routines, and I take time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. I pay close attention to their feeding schedules, litter box cleanliness, and individual behavior so I can quickly notice if anything seems off. Whether a cat is social or more independent, I respect their space and adjust my care to match their needs. My goal is always to provide calm, reliable care so both pets and owners feel at ease.
About: I've been actively searching for an additional income opportunity. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that it could be spending time with my new adorable fluffy friends! There is no price tag valued high enough for the life of your furry family members! I would love to spend time with as many of my new friends as possible and keep them company to distract them from how much they miss you while you're gone! We will have a great time playing fetch, tug of war, squeaking squeakers, taking walks, eating, exchanging belly rubs and head scratches, brushing each other's hair, rolling around outside to let the grass scratch our backs and sniffing each other. I hope they are as excited as I am!!
About: I have over 5 years of professional animal care experience and well over 10 in personal animal care experience ranging from raising and training litters of puppies to assisting with horses. I have had animals all my life and was raised to put their care before my own. For the last 5 years I have worked in vet clinics while in school at UGA pursuing a degree in animal biological sciences. While working in those vet clinics I have worked as both a boarder and a vet tech at a fear free clinic dealing with both calm and more aggressive animals. My duties in these positions were watering, feeding, walking, and administering medication for pets ranging from 6 months old to elderly. I am very well versed in all types of animals and am happy to answer any questions you may have for me! I am a teacher and am entering summer break so I have all the time in the world to care for your pets! While I cannot house sit due to having a dog of my own I am more than happy to take time to visit your fur baby when necessary while my dog plays with my family pets at home! I provide a safe, calm, and reliable experience for pets during walks and drop-in visits. I treat every pet like my own and follow all my clients instructions carefully to keep pets comfortable, happy, and safe. Safety is very important to me, so I always use secure leash practices, pay close attention to my surrounding during walks, and make sure doors and gates are secure before leaving. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners are sure their pets are in good hands.

“Rebekah and her family was just great with Coffee and Daisy. She took great care and it was a great daycare day. I didn’t have to worry while I was trying to move into my new home.”
About: I've had pets nearly my whole life. I absolutely love dogs and cats. How anyone could mistreat an animal is beyond me. I will give the best care to your pet. I retired a year ago although I'm only 53. I have plenty of time and I love animals so I decided to pet sit and board. I have a big back yard that is fenced in. I also have dog beds in my home. I have central heat and air so your pet will be comfortable in my home.
“Kenzie was wonderful and caring to our boys and we will happily request her to watch our boys every time. Thank you, Kenzie, the boys smell good and were very happy when we picked them up. God bless you and your family!!”
About: I've always had a love for animals. I've never met a fur baby I can't get along with. I get the most joy taking care of animals. I work from home with a pretty flexible schedule for dog walks and drop ins. And since I am home, I am able to stay with animals who tend to have some separation anxiety. I have a fenced yard with a very friendly dog who has never met a stranger. I also have two indoor cats, and two rabbits in a room of their own. All of my animals are spoiled rotten.

About: I have worked at vet clinics and at barns so I have diverse experiences to handle animals. I also have had pets my whole life. I recently moved to athens to start vet school. Since it is the summer I am a free book and have time all day to watch your baby. I have a townhouse with a dog park to take your baby out. I also have a spacious living room where we can play and cuddle. In your home, I will respect your schedule and follow it to a tee.
About: What makes me different is that my experience isn’t just from watching dogs—it comes from truly caring for my own over many years. I went through the full journey of raising a puppy into her senior years, which taught me patience, responsibility, and deep respect for animals’ needs. Since then, I’ve felt naturally drawn to caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I currently have full availability after returning from college, which allows me to focus on pet care as a priority. I am flexible with scheduling and can provide care throughout the day, including mornings, evenings, and overnight stays when needed. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space while keeping pets on their usual feeding, walking, and play schedule. I pay close attention to instructions and details provided by the owner so each pet receives consistent, personalized care. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where they are supervised and given plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I make sure they have fresh water, proper feeding times, and a stress-free space to relax. My goal is always to treat every pet like my own and ensure they feel secure and well cared for at all times.
“Michelle was awesome! She communicated clearly and often, sent pictures of the puppies, and played with them all throughout the day. They were so tired when they got home and were really excited to go back the next day! Would highly recommend her!”
“Guinness did very well & Karmen really put our minds at ease about leaving him with her during surgery. She has a good set up for pets, is responsive and loves animals! We plan to use her again the future.”
About: Dogs are my favorite. I know how to administer medication and calm them down if they are stressed Sr babies are also welcome. Love all I am a stay at home mom currently in school at home. This is a great way for me to take care of babies and earn money doing something I love. I have two fenced in areas. Babies are always watched while we’re outside at play and during potty time. They are never left alone or out of my sight.
About: We have taken care of dogs, cats, reptiles and farm animals for around 15 years. We have a great place for them to stay while you're away and will treat them with the best care possible.

We have a fenced in area specifically for your pet - roughly 1 acre. We have 5 acres total to walk your fur baby and keep them entertained! We also offer oversized kennels for them to sleep in at night in a climate controlled room. We will do whatever we need to accommodate what your pet needs in order for them to feel the best while they are here.
“Great day! I know my Lou had a blast. He got to hang out with Patty, her boys, and Nutkin, and made some new friends to boot! He came home happy, and completely pooped. Thanks Patty!!”
About: I’ve cared for all sorts of animals since i was 10 years young, including cats, birds, goats, horses and of course dogs and puppies. I love big dogs especially pit bulls. I currently do not own a animal anymore because I couldn’t afford one after I had my daughter. So I decided why not babysit other people’s fur babies!? I’m currently a stay at home mommy so I will have a lot of play time with the fur babies. My schedule usually stays open on the weekdays. I don’t mind caring for your animal inside my home as long as you bring their cage, it’s preferred for sleep time if staying the night. I will provide snacks of your choice! I also help with potty training.
“Veronica is amazing!! Brady loves going to doggy daycare and my mommy heart will be at ease while we go on vacation during Thanksgiving. He waits by the door in the mornings waiting to go see his friends!! She is the best!!”
About: I have been caring for animals since I was a child and it gives me great comfort and peace in a spiritual way. I am a home owner for 19 years in Douglasville Georgia and live alone. I am a US Navy Veteran and a writer/publisher for Onequalife LLC. I have seen how our environment harms animals life. I am an advocate for all life forms and we need to do better to protect them. Every day, I try to be the best version of myself to make all contacts positive and productive. My super power is patience and to learn new things. Writing is my passion and animals are my comfort. Making a connection with a new animal is a blessing for me. Lots of Love and Smiles for the Soul. As a child, I always have been spending time with our family animals. I have the time and experience with a safe caring fun loving home. I also have a fenced backyard with two sections and a large basement on two acres property. Safety always comes first and I always treat cats or dogs like toddlers. I always have a watchful eye on them and feed and keep them safe.

“Maya was an absolute pleasure. She did exactly what I asked—walked my dogs and showed patience with both of them. One of my dogs is nervous and the other can be a bit of a brat, but she handled them with ease. Even in the 80-degree weather, she stayed upbeat and smiling the entire time. She was so accommodating, and it’s clear my dogs are happier because of her care. Thank you, Maya! Highly recommend!”
“Crissy is very experienced and knowledgeable when it comes to dogs. She is responsible, friendly, responsive, and flexible with unforeseen circumstances. Would highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals (domestic and farm) my whole life, but I enjoy dogs the most! My own pup, an 8 yr old Golden Doodle, is a friend to everyone. She is well-trained and gets along with other animals very well. I have experience giving meds, bathing, crate training, leash training and basic grooming. I occasionally cook for my pup with our dog-safe kitchen scraps and get a kick out of her excitement for her special “meal toppers”. We are a homeschool family and enjoy teaching our older kids how to care for our own animals. We are home every day of the week. I have experience doing in-house boarding and drop-in visits for dogs and I have experience doing drop-in visits for cats. Dogs are welcome inside the home so long as they are potty trained. We have a garage space that has been set up to accommodate our golden doodle and she is happy to share the space with a friend. We do have a medium/large sized kennel on site if needed as well as a a play pen. Crate trained pups are preferred but not necessary. Our yard is not fenced and we do have chickens and other poultry on the property. We have about 1.5 acres with access to a pond. Our dog runs free but visitors will be walked on a leash (or a dog run, if acceptable) to keep everyone safe. I offer boarding in a calm, structured home environment. My setup works best for dogs who are fully house-trained, comfortable settling indoors, and able to follow a predictable home routine. I prioritize a low-stress stay for both pets and people.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was very little and have always loved dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Animals, especially dogs, bring me so much joy which is what inspired me to start dog sitting! I love checking in, playing with, and feeding my sister’s Frenchie when she’s out of town and I know I’d love your dog!! I’m currently in between jobs right now so I have plenty of time for your pups! My schedule is super flexible and open I can sometimes do last minute check-ups if needed! I have two very friendly boykin spaniels of my own which I absolutely adore. I very easily adjust to dogs of all behaviors & can do just about anything needed to care for your little (or big) ones!!!
About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life. Throughout college and after, I have had two dogs and two cats of my own. One of my past job experiences is as a vet tech so I have a bit of handling/caring for all types of animals. I currently have a senior doggie so I am able to provide senior dog (or cat) care if needed as I know having older dogs requires more patience and understanding (which should be regardless of any age) due to it being hard to get up and move around than the younger babies. I will go over and beyond to make sure your fur baby (or babies) are comfortable with me as they normally are with you! I am in my 2nd year of medical school and currently studying at home for a couple exams so can easily make time to care for your baby as a drop in or while staying in my home with my dog, Pixie. I have a fenced in yard and large single family home which I have one room that is completely empty that could be ”the fur baby(ies) room” if need be. I can also bring my study stuff over to spend the day studying and playing with your baby in their own safe environment, but will need to run home occasionally to take care of my own dog, Pixie.

I love every dog I meet and enjoy experiencing each and every different personality that comes along. While I am not at a place in life to have my own dog, I want to take every opportunity to feed my pupper fever. I am part time with a lot of flexibility in my days. I have some commitments that are generally consisteng but I am able to arrange my schedule if I know about needs before the weeks starts. I will respect any needs of your personal space and make sure to clean up if there are any accidents or problems. I like to know where any cleaning supplies are so that I can do this properly.

About: Hi, my name is kenzie. I am here to give your pet the care they need. I worked at a boarding/breeding facility for my first job and loved it. I have lots of experience with caring for dogs. I owned my first dog at 4 years old and I knew then that I couldn’t live without them. Since then dogs have become a huge part of my life. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet! I am home nearly all day every day and can provide lots of time and attention to your pet. I am very active and will provide many walks Your pet will stay on the same schedule that you have them on and will be provided with any additional necessary requirements to make them feel at home on their stay
About: I have work experience at a pet store and have worked with many different pets and animals! I have been relied on to take care of their various needs. Such as cleaning up after messes, doing feeding schedules, play-time, etc. I also have grown up around all animals. There’s never been a moment in my life where I was pet-less. I have 3 cats and 1 dog myself, and other family members even have whole reptile rooms. Needless to say, I’m an avid animal lover and owner. I do currently work part-time! With enough notice however, It’s fairly easy for me to make time for pet sitting, dog walking, bathroom breaks, etc. Animals are a priority. I am very communicative. If by any chance I run into any questions or bumps in the road, I will give a phone call or send a text message. I never want any pet parents to be “out of the loop.” I work very well with treat training or praise. If I need to crate an animal, I prefer positive reinforcement. I treat animals how I would want to be treated! I love meeting dogs or cats first to establish some trust or a comfortable relationship. A decent conversation with an owner would work as well.
About: I’m here to help! I’ve worked with dogs from puppies to seniors. But also worked with dogs with behavioral problems and overall shy dogs. Also have trained a few dogs as well! I’m always available on weekends but on week days I’m free after 4:30pm to walk and check up on any of your pets! And if it’s in the only on week days it would be anytime before 8:30am. I’m huge into following directions and having good communication with my clients. Making sure I know if there’s any triggers or problems your pets have before service.

About: I’m an animal lover who was raised on a farm in Indiana but dogs have a special pull on my heart strings. Look no further for someone to care for your fur babies. I’m responsible and mature with 20 years of experience taking care of various animals; cats, dogs, horses, goats, human children and more. I treat them all like I do my own babies; lots of love, respect and training. I am confident and experienced when it comes to puppy and senior dog care; including administering various medications. I’m currently home full-time which allows me to focus my attention on the fur babies and provides for plenty of playtime, walks and car rides to the local dog park (only if mom/dad approve). Don’t worry while you’re away, I’ll send updates and photos!!

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my whole life, and I also worked in veterinary medicine as a technician for 2 years. During that time, I gained experience with all kinds of pets, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets with medical needs. I am skilled in administering medications, including insulin for diabetic animals, and I always make safety and comfort my top priority. Whether your pet needs extra exercise, special care, or just companionship, I’ll make sure they’re happy and well cared for. I’m a student at the University of West Georgia with a flexible part-time schedule, which gives me plenty of time for pet care. I’m available most weekends and after 2pm on weekdays for walks, drop-ins, and in-home sitting at your place. I’ll make sure your pet gets the exercise, playtime, and love they need while you’re away! Because I live in an apartment complex, I provide care in your home to keep your pet comfortable in their own space and routine. With 2 years of experience in veterinary medicine, I’m confident caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and medical needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or giving medication, I’ll ensure your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re gone.

“If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your dogs like they’re his own, James is absolutely the one. From the moment we connected, he was kind, patient, and incredibly attentive—not just to me, but to my dogs as well. He kept in touch the entire time, sending updates that gave me so much peace of mind. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does because my dogs came back happy, relaxed, and clearly very attached to him. His setup is beautiful—plenty of safe, comfortable space indoors and outdoors for the dogs to enjoy. It honestly felt more like a little vacation for them than just boarding. I will be booking with James again and again—honestly, even when I don’t need boarding, just so my dogs can have a fun getaway with someone they love and trust. Highly, highly recommend!”
“She was amazing with my dog Sunny! She sent me pictures and videos throughout her stay so I wouldn’t be worried. I will definitely consider her in the future and refer her to everyone.”
“Dianne was very responsive, communicative, and kind. Our dog Lady was clearly well taken care of, and we were updated on her multiple times while we were gone. Thank you!”
“This was my first time leaving my pup with a sitter & I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Candace again. She answered all questions I had and seems to really care about the pets in her care. She did an awesome job with providing updates and photos throughout his stay. Thanks again!”
“Absolutely stellar experience with Rebekah and with Rover because of her. I definitely felt like i was leaving my boy with family and i didn't worry one bit about him being cared for on our family vacation. Rebekah and her family took great care of my Great Pyrenees and the updates i received while out of town helped me feel even better about leaving him behind. Rebekah was responsive, helpful and extremely accommodating especially considering our reservation was made 2 days before we left. She was awesome and understanding enough to let us get a meet and greet in before the final decision was made for her to keep him. I'd utilize Rebekah's services again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter that will pay attention to and take care of their four legged loved one. The peace of mind gained from this experience is far greater than the money it cost us and I can't be more satisfied.”
“I had booked a boarding recently I believe it was feb 10-14 and was nervous about doing so because this is the first time I left my baby alone and let alone with a stranger. When I say Langston went above and beyond from the initial meet up, to keeping in contact with me , updating with pictures and videos to even bringing back his food bowls clean (I noticed lol) ..but yeah if you reading this BOOK your fur babies with this man and I promise you won’t regret it .. thanks again Langston and tell Moscoe HEYYYYYY !! Nu’ggett will be back soon for another play date …thanks again”
“Crissy was so amazing with Reese! This was our first time leaving our puppy with anyone and she felt right at home with Crissy. She sent me pics and updates each day, we are Crissy’s biggest fans and Reese’s new bff. ☺️ Thanks again!! We will call her again in the future.”
“Jennifer was great!! She sent many pictures and videos during our dog Oliver’s stay with her. Oliver was happy when he got there and pretty sure he was sad to leave. Thanks for doing such a great job for taking care of our big puppy!!”
“Our dog has a great time at Jennifer’s and she takes great care of him. He’s not a dog we can leave with just anyone, but Jennifer understands dogs and has experience with ones that can be challenging. We highly recommend her! She sends great updates throughout the stay and is very kind and professional. Highly recommended!”
“I left my dog bowls at home and she had some which was a life saver. She listened to all of my instructions and she responded very fast and sent pictures of Marley to me. I think I was more nervous than my Marley. Highly recommend and will use her in the future ?”
“I highly recommend Stephanie! I was super nervous about leaving Glacier since he was so anxious with the last sitter he had but she took such amazing care of him and sent so many updates and pictures throughout the day without me even having to ask which I loved. You could tell Glacier was having the best time with her!”
“Tammy and her family were super welcoming and warm with Penny. She was very communicative and kept me up-to-date with everything happening with her and we look forward to booking with her again!”
“Veronica took care of my loved pets as though they were her own. I have no hesitation recommending her to anyone who needs a happy place for their four legged family to stay.”

About: Dogs are my favorite. I know how to administer medication and calm them down if they are stressed Sr babies are also welcome. Love all I am a stay at home mom currently in school at home. This is a great way for me to take care of babies and earn money doing something I love. I have two fenced in areas. Babies are always watched while we’re outside at play and during potty time. They are never left alone or out of my sight.
“This was Judah’s second time visiting with Raffael. 10 days is the longest we have been away from our fur baby. Raffael was amazing! Because of the Amount of pictures and videos we can tell that Judah was having the best time of his life and because of that our minds were at ease. Raffael made it so much easier to enjoy our vacation without worrying. I will continue to use Raffael from here on out. I highly recommend Raffael for your fur baby. It’s a vacation for them!”
“Thank you Penny and Barron for taking such good care of Clemy. I appreciate all you did to help her feel at home. It was comforting to know she was in good hands while I was gone. I really appreciated the pictures and updates, too.”
